Pet care experience

Dependable pet lover!

I have been caring for my family's dogs since I was 8 years old (at least!). I have taken care of dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes (small to very large), and ages (puppies to elderly dogs), and I have experience with dogs who require specialized attention due to medical and age-related conditions, extreme anxiety, behavioral challenges (such as leash-reactivity), or house training. I enjoy getting to know each dog and their particular personalities and quirks!

Safety, trust & environment

Thomas was once again outstanding. Our dog had an amazing time with him and he sent updates every day while we were away. He was even flexible enough to stay an extra day due to travel issues. You will not be disappointed picking him!

Thomas is an excellent pet sitter. First off, we had a meet and greet where we each had a chance to talk about the dogs and ask questions. During his stay with the dogs at my home, Thomas provided thoughtful and consistent updates, along with sharing photos of the pups. He followed my dog care routine closely and also seemed to be very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so patient with my dogs’ quirks. I felt at ease knowing the pups are being taken care of so well. He also left the house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Thomas and would hire him again anytime!

Thomas was so great with our pup! He took her on a nice walk just long enough for her to enjoy but not too far in the heat & humidity. Will definitely book again for daytime drop-ins!!

I knew that Thomas would be the perfect sitter for our dog, Buddy, as soon as I met him. He's kind and respectful and articulate. He came over a week before our vacation to meet our dog and get the lay of the land. He was right on time for that meeting and right on time the day that we left for vacation. While we were on vacation he sent us photos of Buddy each evening, with a brief update on their day. Our house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely use Thomas again in the future.

I am so happy that I found Thomas on Rover. I was quite anxious because our rescue dog had never been with a dog sitter before, but he was so patient, communicative, professional, and loving to our dog! I really appreciated his updates and pictures. 10/10 recommend!
